It's great when Lauviticus's voice/opinion comes through -- people will always draw their own meaning from the text (and this is a good thing); but what we don’t get enough of is what YOU, a learned + creative person thinks (or: what you all, learned + creative people think). We can get a learned person in a lot of places, and a creative person in some places, but seldom a quality combination of both in one place. <BR/><BR/>Lauviticus knows more than most of the rest of us put together, and puts it all together in such creative, thoughtful, innovative ways. And that empowers people to come up with more thoughtful personal meaning, because then they can mesh their personal experience with some actual learning/text/history/midrash/whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813316.post-1161787588275297062006-10-25T10:46:00.000-04:002006-10-25T10:46:00.000-04:00I wish we'd know about this translation/take on Ad...I wish we'd know about this translation/take on Adam and Eve before we did our Bereishit comic.

Everett Fox translates "Adam" as "human being" (I think, it's not on me) so in this scenario, even if the woman was fashioned from the rib--not the side--of the first androgynous human being, she'd still be first!
